Revell Airbus H145 ADAC Luftrettung
My first helicopter
A lot of plastic. The kit uses 275 parts but there must be more than 350, but they aren't used. I could build half of a second helicopter and the interiour of an RTW (RettungsTransportWagen = Ambulance) out of the spare parts.
A small decal sheet
Day 1
Day 13
Day 37
The hole in the roof is for LEDs
This will be the display-stand for the RTH (RettungsTransportHelikopter = Rescue helicopter)
I finally did it! After many hours of tears and pain, it fits well. Huge thanks to John, who gave me some advice, thanks!
Day 60
Ready to be painted
It's finally yellow!
Day 73
Day 77. It's finally done!
Even the SMDs work

Cool! I was wondering how all the extra parts in mine looked when done, very nice. 👍
If you will accept a bit of advice, when you complete the cabin "shell" that goes into the fuselage halves, be prepared to do a lot of trimming and fitting before closing up. On mine, the sides of the fuselage wanted to push the roof of the cabin down and also hit the edges of the windscreen opening and that left a big gap on top. I finally got it acceptable fit, but even then, I wish I had cut more away because the cabin roof does not quite fit flush.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take care of it 🙂
I build a lot of Revell kits in the past and the fitting was different with every model. I have got everything between pretty good and horrible. It's always like a mysterious box.

I'm sure you will do well with all that Revell experience. 👍 The good news is that other than the cabin shell, the rest fits OK (ish) even the windscreens. But if you want doors closed, also be prepared to do some surgery on them.

Looking good indeed! How did (or will) you paint the inside of the air intakes?
John is right with his comment, the cabine ceiling is a problem. I decided to keep the pilot door frames on the inside out for the moment. Without them the fitting seems to be quite good.

Thanks Andre! I already painted the air intakes with my airbrush. Now I will mask everything off so the paint is save for the yellow.
